Alpaca is so soft and smooth that it was once only worn by the Inca
Royalty.
Alpacas were raised solely for their fleece whilst its cousin, the llama,
was raised as a beast of burden and consequently its fleece is coarser.

The physical properties of the alpaca hair make it stronger and warmer
than wool. It is also hypoallergenic as it has no lanolin like wool.

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is softer, more breathable and much less likely to
trigger allergies and eczema since there are no harmful chemicals
against your skin, compared to regular cotton. No poisonous pesticides
are used in the growing of organic cotton, so farmers can work in a
much healthier environment and receive a better price for their crop.
Organic cotton uses much less water than is used to grow conventional
or GM cotton, often using only rainfall to grow the plants.

Cotton

Peruvian Pima Cotton is the finest cotton in the world. A combination
of factors come together to result in this amazing fibre. The northern
coastal valleys in Peru provide a rich soil that absorbs just the right
amount of water at the perfect temperature. The result is a cotton
that is far superior than anything else around: it is soft beyond
imagination and has a sumptuous silky lustre.
The cotton is then picked by hand and therefore not damaged by the
machines which can tear the fibre giving rise to a coarse texture. The
hand picking ensures the lustre is kept and the softness is maintained.

The fibre is long and smooth and this is what gives the special
qualities of softness, strength and the resistance to piling.

Hemp

We just love hemp fibre, especially this mix of 55% organic cotton 45%
hemp. Hemp fibre comes straight from the cannabis sativa plant which
grows densely and swiftly in poor soil to a height of 4 meters giving a
yield 3 to 4 times more than most substitutes (like cotton) and without
the need of agro-chemicals. The plants do this by capturing very high
levels of carbon dioxide. It is the most useful plant on the planet (It
really has so many uses!). Cotton on the other hand is the most pesticide
dependent crop on the world. Every T-shirt uses a quarter-pounders
worth of toxic chemicals. Our organic cotton uses none - it’s better for
the land, the water and the people.
